> This was not merely an American phenomenon. More recently, China has followed in America’s footsteps with increased snacking. Large-scale surveys show that from 1991 to 2009, the percentage of children and adults who regularly snack has skyrocketed. Among children aged 13 to 18, those who snacked went from 8.7% to 46.3% — a more than fivefold increase. Adults showed the a similar rise from 8.7% to 35.6%.

I guess Asians are enjoying eating throughout the day while still outperforming Americans. https://www.oecd.org/els/health-systems/Obesity-Update-2017.pdf https://www.oecd.org/els/health-systems/Obesity-Update-2017....
